My other truck is a 675rwhp 2004 Ram diesel and it does this pretty badly with the larger injectors and programming I have in it.. anyway, as timing is increased, especially at low rpm/high load condition (like off idle or tip-in at cruise) you will get some rattle as the rpms increase to match the timing in the map.
Hope this helps some.

How do the transmissions last? My brother sold a Ram after experiencing automatic transmission failures, it couldn't take stock torque levels. Went back and bought a manual version.
